According to the John Jay Report, 81% of the victims were male. Yet, between only one and two percent of the population is homosexual. Do you think they're a little over-represented amongst child molesters?...

The idea that homosexuals make up a large percentage of pedofiles has been dis-proven over time. Personally, I think most of these priests were looking for a vulnerable target, someone that would never tell and never be believed.

Then the question is why would there be a seemingly high percentage of pedofiles in the Catholic Church?
